Upgrade the BDC to Windows 2003. The process goes look
like the following:
- Promote a Windows NT 4.0 BDC to the PDC, which
demotes the PDC to a BDC.
- Do a full backup of the former PDC and remove it
from the network.
- Upgrade the new PDC to Windows Server 2003.
- Use the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
wizard to turn on the Active
Directory service. The Active Directory service imports
the existing user
accounts, groups, and other settings from the PDC.
- Run your new Windows Server 2003 domain
controller with Active Directory
for a test period.
- If desired you can do a clean installation of
Windows Server 2003 on the
former PDC, and bring it online as an Active Directory
domain controller.
- Transfer all Flexible Single-Master Operation
(FSMO) roles to the new
Windows Server 2003 domain controller.
- Verify all directory information has replicated.
- Demote the first domain controller to a member
server, and remove from
the domain
